Three (3) partners operate the Whee Group, LLP, an orthopedic consulting and treatment firm. Provide your advice to the partners as to the estate planning tool(s) they should adopt to safeguard against problems that could arise if one of the partners passes away. Your advice should address (a) the interests of the decedent partner, the surviving partners, the partnership, and the surviving decedent partner’s heirs, and (b) the different ways in which the tools will be funded if funding is needed.
